re: NCAA Men's Golf Regional Play - May 13-15

It's unusual to see that many Top 20 teams miss the finals.
The son of a close friend of mine plays for Alabama. Sucks to see them miss it by only 1 shot. Losing Nick Dunlap to the PGA Tour in the middle of the season obviously hurt. Difference between a good team and a potentially great team.

Yikes. Some big hail there. SW LA produced that hail with only 10% hail probs yesterday. Concerning thing is that basically the entire state of Louisiana south of I-20 is in a hatched area f...

Impressive non-tornadic supercell currently producing very large hail passing north of Mobile, AL this morning. Went from producing quarter size hail, to golf ball sized hail, to now tennis ball sized hail in a matter of 45 minutes.
Edit: as of 6:30 am hail down to half dollar size

"polar vortex"
This one is annoying and was just made up out of the blue literally within the last 3 or 4 years. Annoying because those who came up with the term act like a portion of the vortex that encompasses the arctic being displaced well south into the continental US is suddenly a new and r...

Regarding the whole Bruce Pearl/Nate Oats comparison
Posted by Govt Tide on 5/1/24 at 1:44 pm
For all the talk about and comparison between Pearl and Oats the better Alabama coach to be comparing Pearl with given his 12 seasons at Alabama is Wimp. With all due respect to Coach Pearl who is a great coach, his Auburn resume doesn't even match up to Wimp's resume, much less Nate's.
Wimp San...

Kentucky should go after Jay Wright
Posted by Govt Tide on 4/2/24 at 5:46 pm
I think Jay Wright more or less retired for similar reasons that Saban did (turned off by NIL and the transfer portal) but Kentucky would be one of the very few jobs he would consider coming out of retirement for. Not that I or anyone here would want to see that happen. Jay Wright at Kentucky would ...

I'll be very very pleasantly surprised if we somehow manage to make it to the Sweet 16 but I just don't see it. I can see us managing to outscore Charleston in a close game but St Mary's will lock us down defensively and it'll be one shot and done on offense and plenty of fouls and easy finishes aga...

Agreed. It makes more sense to double the point totals until you get to Final 4s and then do a total for runner ups and champions.
The following gives greater weight to Final 4s but seems like a...
re: Why isn’t the SEC Basketball Tourny in NOLA?
Posted by Govt Tide on 3/13/24 at 6:37 pm
Nashville is the perfect location for the SEC basketball tournament. Within a 5 hour drive of at least half the conference teams.
No offense to NOLA which is a great event city but downtown Nashville is nicer, cleaner, and safer than downtown NOLA as well. ...

Auburn hasn't won a single SEC tournament game since 2019

In fact, Auburn has won at least 1 SEC tournament game in only 2 of the 7 SEC tournaments Auburn has competed in since Bruce Pearl has been head coach. Shocking stat from one of the greatest coaches in SEC history.
P.S. Auburn and Pearl didn't compete in the 2021 SEC tournament due to cheating...
